Patient's question:
I have been with my boyfriend for a year, and we often have sex. I love him very much. He said my pubic hair wasn't attractive, so I had it all shaved off. He was happy too, but after a while, I started experiencing a strange itching in my vaginal area, which made me very uncomfortable.What kind of help do I need: How to deal with intense itching after shaving pubic hair?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Vulvar itching is a symptom caused by multiple factors, often resulting from the excessive abnormal vaginal discharge produced by trichomoniasis or fungal infections, which irritates the vulvar area. If antiseptic solutions are used to rinse the vulva or vagina, or certain medications are placed inside the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacilin, strongly alkaline soaps, or potassium permanganate solutions), it may cause allergic reactions or dermatitis in the vulvar area, leading to itching. During the menstrual period, if hygiene is not properly maintained and the vulva is not frequently cleaned, menstrual blood or vaginal secretions may accumulate in the vulvar area for extended periods. Additionally, wearing synthetic underwear during daily life keeps the vulvar area in a consistently moist and warm environment, often causing vulvar itching.
